Alien: Isolation

[GasparZizou]

So far, the only hard fact we have, is that there's only 1 Alien, which is the right decision imo, we don't know if there's gonna be more characters, my guess is that there will be, and they will start to die one by one until you're left by yourself.

The last good Aliens-only game I played was Alien Resurrection on the PS1.

Here's the announcement trailer and another gameplay trailer.

I can't really drown my enthusiasm, it does look good.

I just hope this one's going to be good. Still have chills thinking about ACM.

 

[GasparZizou]

It's funny that they say this game was deep in development when the ACM backlash took place, otherwise they would have cancelled the whole thing.

This franchise always deserves another chance.

It's sad how Alien could inspire something as good as Dead Space, but can't even have a single decent video game.

I say bring it on. It's cool how this one actually looks like a survival-horror game. Hopefully, it'll be a good pallet cleanser for the ACM nonsense.

I don't know, Alien Resurrection was pretty good, it was very tense, scary and freaking hard, then came AVP1&2 and those were too pretty darn good, then, well you know...

Man.. I never played Alien Resurrection. The AVP games were immensely well done. But, AVP itself is basically a spin-off of two franchises in a separate universe. There's nothing really good with just "Alien" alone - and ACM is probably the biggest disappointment in video game history .

Anyway, I just read through the thread, and Deckard brought up some good points, too. I just hope that the AI for this single Alien is really good to keep it interesting for several hours.

Also, if the devs are doing this intelligently, they could also include some other immediate dangers within the ship; such as a hull breach (with leaking air) that needs repair. And as you're gathering equipment to repair the ship, you'll have to keep an eye over your shoulder for the Alien. Just a thought I guess...

You can see in the vids one part where you're running into a room to get safe from the Alien and when the player pushes the button the airlock opens and ejects the player to space looks like you can't even trust the environment.

Am I the only one who is getting mad and is laughing reading all the comments on this game back in October?

I was just checking those, not bad at all. I like the nod to the original Alien trailer but I'm not sure if an Alien can scare me I like the creature too much


They gave it chicken legs??

 

[Fritz]

This game looks really intriguing and something that I'm looking forward to. But that comes from someone who hasn't played any of the previous Aliens games so my expectations for it haven't been ruined by ACM like many of you.

This would have to be GOTY material for them to dig themselves out of this hole.

I think it's crouching, that's why

Yeah, it's not scary at sight, but I think that's cause we're way to familiar with it, we like it more that it scares us but lighting and a good atmosphere can be a world of difference

I just realized Creative Assembly are the people responsible for Total War Rome 2 and that game had one of the worst launches ever. Glitches galor.

I can't even imagine how scary this game would be using the Oculus Rift..

I hope they decide to offer support.

Yeah that would be frightening, would defiantly want to see that happen!

Even though I'm familiar with the look, I believe that Xenomorphs are one of the scariest concepts ever conceived for the movies. They freaked me out when I was five-years-old, and they still do to this day. The stuff of nightmares.

CHILLS????? Chills would be putting it nicely....Aliens Colonial Marines is a heaping pile of #@%* I fu%&*@# hate it and hope that gearbox goes out of business. Yes out of business. After seeing that its a NEW company working on this game I'm looking forward to it just a bit. The story for me is cool and if it gives the player a genuine survival horror feel then I guess you could say I'll be in alien heaven LOL.......

 

[Sachiel]

SEGA is the one you should be worried about.

I haven't even looked into this game at all because of CM, but just watched this 7 minute video...now I'm stoked.
